IPC: D01F4/00
Filed: 1940-05-03
Granted: 1941-05-20
Abstract: Filaments, threads, fibres, bands, films, and the like are obtained by extruding a solution of a protein in an alkali into a coagulating bath and hardening the products by means of formaldehyde or other hardening agent capable of reacting with the amino groups of the protein, and also hardening the products by means of one or more formates of polyvalent metals in solution with or without one or more formates of univalent metals or other salts or organic compounds. Hardening may be effected in a single bath containing formaldehyde, sodium formate and aluminium triformate.  The polyvalent metal salt may be present as a complex salt.  If desired, a coagulating bath containing a formate may be used and the filaments or other products may be passed, without washing, from this bath to a hardening bath containing a polyvalent metal salt, the coagulating liquid adhering to the products being used as a constituent of the hardening bath.  A coagulating bath containing a salt of a polyvalent metal may be used and the unwashed products may be passed into a hardening bath containing a formate.  In forming the protein solutions some of the alkali is absorbed by or combines with the protein molecules and the amount of free alkali in the solution is reduced.  The amount of alkali used may be such that there is not more than 0.4 mols of free alkali per kg. of protein in the solution or it may be so small that there is no free alkali in the solution. Specification 577,526 is referred to.

Title: Non-sliding spring mechanism for poster frames
Inventor: DINGLE RALPH W
IPC: A47G1/06
Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: A non-sliding spring mechanism (40) for picture and poster frame (10). A flat metal spring biasing member (40) having a pair of opposed sawtooth or irregular edges (64, 66) is positioned between a rotating cover member (18) and a stationary base member (16) in each section of the frame device.

Title: Print job processing in a printer network using user selected job attributes
Inventor: AL-KAZILY BINNUR
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: A central print system 200 in which print jobs are directed to a particular printer 106 based on a set of print job attributes 228 specified by an end user at the time of the print job 220 submission. The central print system provides intent-based printing which allows the end user to specify the desired end result of the printing operation rather than initially selecting a particular printer. An attribute manager 206 registers a set of job processing attributes 212, 214 each printer can provide and provides a list of available print job attributes 222 to each client computer 102 on the network from which the end user specifies the particular attributes desired. The user selection of the attributes may involve prioritisation. The attribute manager may update the job processing attribute list as printers are added to or deleted from the network. Alternatively the list updating may occur whenever the print system is initialized or at the time of each job submission. A print job manager 204 processes the print job using user selected print job processing attributes to select the appropriate printer from a group of networked printers. The printer may be selected by prioritizing one or more of the selected attributes using a predetermined set of rules. The central print system may include one or more add-on modules 210 accessible by the print job manager which provide additional functionality 217, 219 to the print system.
